Multiplying Small Farms.

According to official data the in
crease in the number of farms in the
United States during the past six
years has been about one million, and
the total number At present is esti-
mated At five million. Most Of the in.
crease has resulted from divisions Of
large estates in the South. This has
been going on ever since the war. In
South Carolina for example. the av-
erage size Of farms in 1860 was 4S8
acres. and in 1880 only 143 acres The
average farm in Texas in 1860 contained
59l acres. and in 1880 it had been re-
duced in size to POS acres. The same
is noticed. although to less
degree, in New York and Pennsyl-
vania. In these States twcnty-seven
years ago farms contained on the av-
erage LOG and 100 acres respectively.
In 1880 their average size was SO and
80 acres. Such increase really means
increase in aggregate wealth. 1t
means increase in labor. which is
wealth. and it means independence
and self-reliance. -Di1ie Farmer.

Why They Succeeded.

have sold one farmers fruits and
vegetables for years, getting all that !
could for them. writes a New York
commission merchant. but they were
in such shape that they would only
bring low prices. and the farmer never
got ahead. and died leaving a wife and
family and good mortgage on the
farm. The boys went at it, supported
the family. cleared of the mortgage
and now own another farm and have
money at interest. The reason of their
success was that they raised fine pro-
duce. packed it honestly and took a
pride in shipping it to market in the
best. possible shape. Their stuff always
brings good prices and gives the best
of satisfaction. The man who uses
good seed. plenty of manure. and sends
his stuff to market in convenient pack
ages well assorted. will have no fear
of dull market. II the package is
new. it will add more To the selling
price than its cost.

A Hint to Butter Makers.

Good dairymen say that milk will
absorb foul odors and retain them.
can believe it now. l have made an
experiment l worked at place where
butter was made from the milk of four
cows The milk was set in pans in one
corner. piled on the floor. one above
the other. The stove was at one side
OF the pans. and at the other place
was made for old boots and shoes.
One pair Of rubbcrs were particularly
offensive. They were placed with the
others at times. and whenever this was
done the odor was plainly perceptible
in the butter. This was not . pleasant
experiment but it was remarkably
forciblc. There are hundreds oil
kitchens where butter is made under
such circumstances. Does any body
wonder that there is poor sale for it,

Natural Seed-Time for Grasses.

The seeds of most kinds Of hardy
grasses are observed to come up dur
ing this month. IL showers of rain
occur. indicating the commencement
Of seed time. Owing. however, to the
rather unnatural condition Of most of
ur cultivated lands, as compared
with virgin soils freshly cleared, it is
better to defer sowing until the latter
part Of the month, or until September
or October. according to latitude. We
have sown grass IN August; but the
results do not justify such early SOW
ing as rule. rs the young plants are
very apt to be destroyed by the hot
sun and dry weather in September.
(Not only do the ordinary non-cereal
grasses show a natural tendency to
terminate during the month of August
but it is a matter Of common obser-
walton that the seed Of oats. rye and
barley. will lie on the surface after
harvest in May andlJune, rarely gcrmi-
mating until the rains of August
have set in.) The seeds of crab grass
and other summer grasses. although
still plentiful in the soil. rarely come
up so late as August although the
seasons may be favorable 50 far IS
rainfall Is concerned. Such species
seem to be controlled. in their germina-
ton. by sort Of plant instinct which
tells them that there will not BE- time
to develop another crop Of seed before
frost The same natural instinct en-
courages the termination of winter
and perennial grasses-those which
will withstand the frosts of
winter. and which require
. longer period in which to
develop growth and maturity. Under
favorable and natural conditions win
ter grasses succeed well il the seeds
be sown in August; but for the rea-
sons already intimated experience
teaches that the following month b
the most suitable time. It Is well.
however. to provide seed. allot the
ground and make needed preparations
for sowing during the next two
months. On strong or moderately fer
